Russia is a nothing country with Nukes. That is the ONLY thing that gives them any strength. Pakistan might have just as much influence as Russia at this point for the same reason.

If you think Russia propaganda has any influence on 162 Million voters enough to change anything (2024), please keep spewing that opinion.

It all depends on where the ecryption happens.

Client side, the data is encrypted by you before it even goes to iCloud or whereever.

Server side, the data is encrypted by the provider (iClound or whatever) on your behalf with a unique key that the server has.

IF you aren't doing the encryption, it isn't encrypted, only the illusion of encryption is happening.

I don't use Biomentric Passkeys for this very reason. They cannot compel me to type in or tell them my password, but they can force me to use a fingerprint or facescan.

They cannot compel me without a court order (or three dollar wrench).

"I don't answer questions. I want my lawyer. Am I free to go? Am I being detained and for what RAS do you have right now? I do not have to help you 'investigate' "

The problem with Civil Liberties (me being a libertarian) is that government intrusion into our lives is already done, and both D and R have contributed. The Dems take a little here, the R takes a little there and the next thing you know, "Papers Please". Government intrusion says the camel's nose is inside the tent.

Not sure where you stand on Opening Up Encryption .... but it sounds like you're pro unecryption

Broken clocks are right every so often, and this is a No Brainer for me. Don't Fold To Foreign Despotic States.

The title says it all. Anyone willing to bow down to opening up Encryption to despotic states for just $$ doesn't deserve the $$ they have.

Keep on lying, Constitution Hating Treason Fuck. Every one of you Shitrag Crossburners should be given a bullet to the head.

It's a state full of Mormon Inbreds and Klan Garbage. None of them have an IQ over 60. That's what makes it a Trump Treason Shit State.

It IS a violation of the constitution. You need to just admit you're a Treason Rat Klan Shitboy with delusions of humanity.

It's a violation of Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5. No surprise the Treasonous Republican-Run Garbage State of Worthlessoming would pull such a move - GOP are all Constitution Hating Treason Fucks, every stinking America Hating Klan Whorechild one of them.

It's always been a Shitty Treasonous White-Supremacist State. No surprise they violated the Constitution on this one too. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5. Republicans are Shit Eating Treason Fucks.

including billionaire Peter Thiel's Palantir

There's your answer on why this happened. JD Vance is Peter Thiel's Gay Buttsex Prostitute Boy. Notice the eyeliner he always wear. This is Vance making good for his LITERAL Gay Prostitution Sugar Daddy.

Seems like Trump's Shitfaced Inbred America-Betraying Treason Fuck Corrupt Crap Cronies want to spread government money to their friends. - There, fixed that for you.

We all know what's going on here. Republicans are America-hating Corrupt Sacks of Shit who should be kicked out of the USA or given the firing squad. MAKE AMERICA GREAT by ENDING THE TREASON SHIT REPUBLICANS.

It has precisely 2 purposes: to serve as a pyramid / "greater fool theory" scam, and to hide transactions for crimes like extortion/ransomware, illegal drugs and Kiddie Pr0n.

Precisely this. Facebook is actively banning people for posting links to the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. Facebook/Meta is a NAZI platform that needs to be summarily executed.
